Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 54 [Rich Second Generation Friendship Circle]
Happy Waters and Guo Xu left the arena together, not saying a word during the period, a little depressed. On the occasion where he was supposed to show his abilities, he was reduced to a spectator, making him less like an agent and more like a follower.
He was a little happy again, because Guo Xu had really chosen a shortcut to fame. If everything went well, he would be very popular in his rookie season, and his chances of receiving advertising endorsements would greatly increase.
Happy's player contract commission is only 2%. Even if Guo Xu reaches the top of the first round and gets 2 million, it won't be much. It's different if he handles the advertising and endorsements. If the endorsement fee is one million in one year, he can get 12 million from it. %, soon get rid of poverty and become rich.
It is not difficult for the last rookie to become famous because his starting point is too low. Guo Xu averaged 10+5 per game and was selected to the All-Rookie Team, which is enough for the media to brag for one year. It is not about how good the last rookie is, but how happy the media can be. The management of each team is blinded by the criticism.
As the first Chinese and Asian player to play in the NBA, Guo Xu will definitely get more attention when he falls, and the media may even talk about discrimination, fearing that the world will not be in chaos.
After returning to the hotel, Happy thought about a hidden danger: Do we believe in the Lakers too much? What if they pick you at the bottom and don't give you enough playing time? You should let me play more with you in the arena. It's just a matter of them chatting for a while and getting a promise of guaranteed playing time.
Happy, can you get up and think in Happy's direction? Guo Xu was lying on the sofa in the posture of a sleeping Buddha, playing the remote control. I will naturally get playing time if I play well. On the contrary, if I don't play well, Jackson forcing me to play will arouse the resentment of my star teammates, so just don't mention it.
It's time to check out, what are you going to do next? Are you going back to Michigan? Happy asked.
No, I'm going to stay in Los Angeles to wait for the results of the draft and play in the summer league. Then I'll look for a house here and be treated to a treat. Guo Xu squinted and looked at Happy meaningfully.
Happy's face immediately fell. He couldn't be talking about me, right? I really shouldn't have told him about the fact that agents in the industry are not easy to get along with and often ask for treats.
Some unscrupulous players will trick their agents around and refuse to sign the contract in the end. Happy once met a person like this who served the other player for three days in vain, eating and playing with him, and got nothing.
Hahaha, I just want to see your expression. Does it bring back bad memories? Guo Xu laughed and turned over, Don't worry, I know you are poor and will not exploit you. I have a good buddy here. Los Angeles, I’ll stay at his place.”
Then I will go home and be on call at any time? When you officially join the Lakers, I will come to Los Angeles to look for a house. Happy asked with a smile.
Okay.
Guo Xu called Austin's phone number and said that he had a high chance of joining the Lakers and reported his name to the hotel.
Austin shouted: That's great, this has to be celebrated. I'll pick you up right away.
Happy could hear the voice clearly through the phone, but it was not on speakerphone. He felt that birds of a feather flock together, and Guo Xu's friends were also sunny young people.
Twenty minutes later, a Hummer arrived at the door of the hotel. Austin waved to Guo Xu: Get in the car, do you have any luggage?
Just a small bag. Guo Xu pointed to his backpack, turned around and asked, Happy, you really don't want to play together?
Happy waved his hand and said with a smile: You guys go and play, I'm home, please contact me anytime.
The contract didn't help, and Happy was too embarrassed to go out with Guo Xu. The two of them had to have a good relationship without crossing the line, so that they could have a long-term cooperation.
The United States is a power-money society with a huge gap between rich and poor. Most of the poor live a hard life in the slums, while the wealthy families live a life of purple and gold.
Austin is a rich second generation who lives a life without any pressure. He can do whatever he likes. Even if he failed in the entertainment industry, he has no worries about food and clothing. It is not unrelated to his previous movie roles and the support of his parents who are senior executives in IT companies.
Austin drove to buy clothes first,
I want to help Guo Xu change his outfit. There is a party tonight, and many rich second generations are attending. It won't hurt if you dress up a little more handsomely and get to know more people with backgrounds.
When the two female shop assistants heard their conversation, they both looked like they wanted to strike up a conversation. With the image of Guo Xu and Austin, many women will fall in love at first sight. Who doesn't want their boyfriend to be handsome and rich?
Guo Xu picked up his clothes and asked with a smile: Is it right to form a network of relationships and join forces?
That's right, you are much smarter than before. Austin smiled: You try to dazzle a group of people with a tango. I heard that you are a very good dancer. Is that true?
certainly.
Not only in the United States, many people in China also like to form a network, you do things for me, and I help you. There are also some people who act as intermediaries everywhere, and the introducers know each other and collect some intermediary fees from them.
In his previous life, Guo Xu also had his own circle of friends, most of them were hanging silk, and everyone was not doing well. Many friends, many paths, he does not resist this kind of social life, unless you don't want to get ahead.
Therefore, he listened to his friend's arrangement and changed into a beautiful light blue casual suit and a pair of brown sunglasses. He had the look of a successful person and looked much more mature.
The party was held at the Beverly Hills villa of a friend in Austin whose family is a titan of the big health industry in Los Angeles. This industry is said to be big to serve the family's birth, old age, sickness and death, and said to be small is to serve the health of the whole family through measurement, adjustment, maintenance and recuperation.
At the end of June, the weather is getting warmer and warmer. Everyone wears cool clothes, and there are people of all skin colors.
In Los Angeles, people of color who are highly educated and from wealthy families are generally not discriminated against. They have a great time at parties and there are no barriers to communication. Guo Xu feels that Americans are not so much discriminating against skin color as they are actually discriminating against the poor.
After Austin introduced Guo Xu as the MOP of the NCAA Final Four and had signed up for this year's NBA draft, many people immediately came up to chat with him.
Jason, I know you. You are very popular on the Internet. You danced to celebrate during the finals. People at the University of Florida were almost driven crazy by you. A short white young man said.
Tony, your news is too old. The latest news is that Jason refused trial invitations from other teams and only wanted to join the Lakers. A red-haired young man smiled and said: You are so cool. I have never heard of anyone Dare to do this.
Guo Xu smiled: I didn't expect the Hornets to expose this matter. I didn't mean to be a big name. I just wanted to join the team I like and play. I'm actually a very talkative person and a low-key person.
Tony asked: Are you a good dancer? I heard from Austin that you often practice Latin dance with people from the Michigan Dance Company. Is it true?
Besides playing basketball, what I am best at is dancing. Latin dance is just average. I am more professional in tango. Is there any lady here who would like to dance with me?
I, I do, please don't laugh at me if I don't dance well. A blond girl in a red dress raised her hand next to Guo Xu and stood up in a first-come-first-served manner.
She looked to be in her early twenties and had a fiery image. Guo Xu performed a standard gentleman's courtesy and gently held her hand and walked into the venue. The DJ changed the music in a timely manner.
Austin quietly gave Guo Xu a thumbs up, and then took the lead in applauding. He liked the changes in his friends. Guo Xu would never have been able to fit into this kind of circle back then, but now he was able to play better than him.
